pickMurder Most Royal (Her Majesty the Queen Investigates 3), by S.J. Bennett (2022)
Premise: Her Majesty‘s Christmas celebrations are interrupted by the discovery of a severed hand on the beach near her Sandringham Estate, a hand bearing a signet ring she instantly recognizes.
Review: This is another solid entry in this charming series. The Christmas vibes were fun, and the setting of the end of 2016 added an interesting element to the story.

pickI‘m really enjoying this series - Rozie is great and there‘s something delightful about the Queen solving mysteries. Bennett rounds out her cast of characters nicely, this time with a couple of quirky aristocrats and villagers, and constructs a fun little romp of a mystery.
pick11-8-23: My 94th finished book of 2023! Book 3 in the series about Queen Elizabeth II being a secret sleuth. I‘m this story, the Queen is spending Christmas at Sandringham, her rural retreat, when an old acquaintance and family friend goes missing. With the help of her assistant personal secretary, Rozie, the Queen gets down to the bottom of things when the police don‘t. This series is a nice reminder of the Queen. ⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣9️⃣4️⃣
pickLovely addition to the series; I really enjoy seeing Rozie grow j to the position and it‘s such fun getting (faux) glimpses into the royal household. Additionally, it‘s always such a gentle read that I find it relaxing to meander through the whole mystery.
pickMy reign pizza to pair with my royal book. This series continues to delight me, I hope there are a few more (it‘s 2016 in this story so maybe it‘s possible) maybe Charles can take over 🤷🏻♀️ afterwards.
Best day ever! I got the euro released version of the latest S J Bennett here yesterday ❤️❤️ doesn‘t come out in NA until the end of September
pickAlthough I enjoyed this, and it seems as though Bennett is really finding her stride with this series, I do think that I found this a lot less believable than the other two. I know they‘re fiction, but part of the charm was how realistic they felt, and this one just seemed a bit too out there. That said, it‘s clear that she has done her homework and knows so much about the queen‘s life and habits.
Today I am reading in Budapest, this city is amazing. (And the book is very enjoyable so far!)
pickThe third installment of this series where the Queen plays detective. I really love this series.
